How it works

Three steps to get started

Connect MCP Server to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add MCP Server. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

Add the MCP config

Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into Zed's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

Ask Zed about your data

Restart Zed and start asking questions. "What tools does this MCP server provide?" — and get a real answer backed by live MCP Server data.

Configuration

Add Sequel to Zed

Place this in ~/.config/zed/settings.json and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "settings": {
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Example prompts

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect MCP Server to Zed?

You need two things: (1) connect MCP Server to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to Zed using the setup shown above. Once both are done, Zed can query your MCP Server data directly.

What MCP Server data can Zed access?

Zed can access any data available through your MCP Server connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my MCP Server data sent to Zed's servers?

Query results are returned to Zed as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect MCP Server and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to MCP Server and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple MCP Server accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple MCP Server accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. Zed will be able to query all of them.
